http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=540638 Summary: Time is increased by UTC offset at each reboot if BIOS is set at local time Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Milestone 7 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mar.pollo@gmail.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; it; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090730 SUSE/3.5.2-3.4 Firefox/3.5.2 GTB5 When you set up YaST to use system time as UTC, it works correctly. If you set to Local time, instead, the UTC offset is added to the time at each reboot. For example, I use UTC+2, so at each reboot time increases by 2 hours.

Changing it in Yast fixes it for the current session but on next boot it is off by +2 hours again.

If you like to use /sbin/hwclock you may use --systz toghether with --localtime and --noadjfile. Both utilities, the mkinitrd binary and the hwclock(8) program, can do this job only once as the kernel only accept setting its internal timezone only once. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Every time I log on, the time is set back 9 hours (I'm in Japan, UTC + 9 hours). If I correct the time in YaST and boot to Windows or another distro then the time remains correct. I had similar problems in previous releases of OpenSuSE, and one thing that may or may not be a factor is that I am in Japan but selected English rather than Japanese as the installation language. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

This because then the initrd let the kernel know that the CMOS is not in UTC (the UNIX default) but within local time. On the other hand, AFAIK Windows7[tm] is also able to handle CMOS clock running in UTC and IMHO this would be the much better solution as the is no problems at all regardless the time zone nor day saving switch. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
